Call from 01282526771 from an Indian accented gentleman. When I asked where he was calling from, he said Newbury, which isn't anywhere near Burnley! He wittered on for a bit then I hung up. Probably a scammy scammer.
Indian scammer based in Burnley, brilliant.
Said my sim card about to be blocked due to technical fault I took the call because i had been interacting with a Burnley based person on e bay and thought the call was genuine. Soon as I realised this Indian voice was a spam I ended the call
